Like you, I prefer an unorganised holiday where I can go with the flow. Which does not include the vain hunt for car parking. I have driven away in complete frustration before from such towns - notably Port Isaac on Cornwell.<br />I rather liked your Collioure wine bar, though. Your relief and relaxation is apparent in your writing!Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-84040101968904370202013-06-12T06:24:31.673+01:002013-06-12T06:24:31.673+01:00Joe (again): I've been trying to access your b...Joe (again): I've been trying to access your blog but something is getting in the way.

If I can toss one thing into the cultural pot: our villa, which is very fancy-schmanzy and costs a bomb, is decorated with a rather superior selection of prints. In the dining/living room is what must a life-size print of Matisse's Blue Nude 1 1952, a wonderful paring-down of the female form into a collection of curves. Famous, of course. But I wouldn't mind owning just the print.<br /><br />Ellena: I am encouraged to continue living provided I can make you laugh every now and then. Unfortunately this richly rewarding experience (for me, that is) seems to come at a price: I frequently act the smart-ass and this can make you cry (I speak metaphorically).Only you can say whether you emerge in profit from these transactions.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-9536865988720752782013-06-11T20:25:22.778+01:002013-06-11T20:25:22.778+01:00Who gets the 3L, is it liters, drinks?

It is there under the influence of the Mediterranian that Matisse is supposed to have discovered colour (no pun intended).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.com
